This City

Stephan Eicher · My Place [1989]

Walk with the lights of this city

My feet ask the street, what does loneliness know ?

My heart touches shadows of this city

Rain gives the rhythm to this night



What does loneliness know ? What does darkness hide ?

What does sadness miss ?

Where do the thoughts of this night end ?



Walk with the lights of this city

My eyes take the faces of this night

Walls hold the stories of this city

Wind holds the haste of this night



What does loneliness know ? What does darkness hide ?

What does sadness miss ?

Where do the thoughts of this night end ?
